He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

"Haha, Lao Chu, to put it simply, he's a strong class monitor who needs to keep those naughty students in check."

Zhao Yunlong continued speaking.

Although the example is a bit abstract, the principle is roughly the same.

"Old Zhao, do you think it's possible that the human-faced evil snake also influenced Meng Yan's character?"

Chu Gang suddenly brought up a topic.

Because of the questions asked.

Their eyes turned red again when they heard Meng Yan make a move.

A person's eyes cannot change color, especially red ones.

It must have been affected by something.

It is highly likely to be a human-faced evil snake.

"Then I think we should hold a meeting to emphasize this matter properly. We mustn't provoke him and activate the human-faced evil snake blood within him, otherwise this kid will lose control, and at best he'll get beaten up, at worst he'll lose his life!"

Zhao Yunlong had considered this.

At this moment, he looked towards Chu Gang.

"Um... Old Zhao, just keep treating him like a precious gem. But to be honest, the Human-Faced Evil Serpent is never just a snake. It has always had a clear path, belonging to the forbidden sequence level. I remain pessimistic about that kid. Because in current overseas experiments, even with a strong physique, it is difficult to control forbidden-level power, and in the end, they can only suffer a backlash."

Chu Gang gave Zhao Yunlong a meaningful look.

He is rational.

"Old Chu, didn't this kid overturn your beliefs today? I always felt this kid was different from the others! Putting that aside, did you know that this kid gave us a crucial piece of information during the interrogation: the demonic energy revives on the Day of the Dead. What do you think of the veracity of this? It feels like the whole of Chun City is getting more and more unsettled lately!"

Zhao Yunlong gets back to the main topic.

Everyone says he's very protective of his own.

But have you ever seen this kid deliberately provoke anyone?

Take Hu Qiang as an example; if it were anyone else...

He is presumably dead at the hands of Hu Qiang.

He's just not as skilled as others right now, and he's been defeated by them.

Zhao Yunlong wanted to hold a separate meeting to properly correct this unhealthy trend of "the strong bully the weak" before the turbid domain descended on a large scale.

Of course, we should also pay attention to what that kid said about the resurgence of demonic energy on the day of the dead.

"In fact, a lot of our current research data points to the Day of the Dead. There are also historical records of the resurgence of evil spirits. If that is really the case, the social order we have worked so hard to maintain may collapse."

Chu Gang's eyes were somewhat deep.

"collapse……"

Zhao Yunlong repeated these two words.

His gaze also turned solemnly to the window.

Spring Market.

Meng Yan and Li Zhichun were unaware of Xiao Hong's or the headquarters' movements.

The two continued eating their barbecue.

Meng Yan asked curiously how the fat man's abilities had improved after this advancement to the Spirit Spring.

"Brother Meng, I can now help you restore this amount of physical strength and spiritual energy at the same time."

Li Zhichun held up one finger.

"10%, that's ten times! Not bad, not bad!"

I remember that before, the fat guy only recovered 1%, so being able to multiply tenfold was already very powerful.

"What? 10%? It's one time! That means if your mana bar is depleted, Brother Meng, I can restore your health once! That's like double your health, so even if Xiao Lie dares to come, we won't panic!"

Li Zhichun replied.

He's not good at fighting.

However, he can replenish the mana bar of teammates of the same skill level once.

"Holy crap! This is insane!!"

Meng Yan was shocked.

It instantly replenished both physical and spiritual energy.

Having such a support teammate in the back is indeed equivalent to doubling your combat power.

This was truly a lucky find!

"It's mainly because Brother Meng gave me this opportunity; otherwise, I, Li Zhichun, might never have been able to break through to the Spirit Spring in my entire life."

Li Zhichun spoke sincerely.

"Come on, have a drink, let's not talk about this."

Meng Yan raised his wine glass.

While they were chatting and drinking...

A barbecue stall not far away, in a slightly secluded spot.

"Mom—, someone's in the bathroom! I need to use the bathroom!"

There are always parents who bring their children out late at night. At this moment, a four or five-year-old child called out to his mother.

"Go by yourself! Just find a corner and do it!"

"I'm scared—"

"What are boys afraid of! Hurry up and come back!!"

"oh--"

The night wind was a bit eerie.

"Meow--"

The little boy mustered his courage and went to a deserted alley.

Suddenly he felt something behind him. When he turned around, a strange cat face pounced on him.

Before I could even shout.

"Click—"

The internal organs had been removed, and bright red blood had spilled all over the ground.

It was completely lifeless.

……

"boom--"

The wine glass slammed onto the table.

"What's wrong, Brother Meng?"

Suddenly, Li Zhichun noticed that Meng Ge's expression was not right. He first slammed his wine glass on the table and looked coldly in a certain direction in the distance.

"Fatty! There's a monster here!!"

It turned out that Meng Yan's Demon-Suppressing Tower had suddenly lit up.

[Demon Suppression Order: A demon dwells in Green Mountain, known as the Cat-Faced Old Woman, who devours children, causing widespread bloodshed. Her actions are treacherous, she is nocturnal, and extremely ferocious. Any cultivator from the Demon Slayer Division who sees her must slay her!]

At the same time, there was a voice that seemed to come from the heavens.

He saw it clearly.

In the distance, there was a figure rushing by, seemingly gnawing on something.

"Holy crap—"

Li Zhichun's pupils constricted!

I never expected to encounter an emergency while having barbecue!

However, it wasn't long after the two of them chased after him.

"ah--"

"Son! Son—"

scream.

A suffocating scream rang out; it was a woman's voice.

But there was no response, only an empty shell and a pool of blood.

……

A few minutes.

The ambulance arrived, and the wailing woman collapsed and was carried away.

Police cordoned off the scene.

There were even armed police officers who wouldn't allow anyone to enter.

"This is the tenth incident this month. These beasts deserve to be torn to pieces!!"

Hong Guan, deputy director of the Qingshan City Police Department, arrived at the scene. Seeing the child whose stomach had been cut open, whose head and internal organs had all disappeared, leaving only an empty shell, his eyes burned with rage!

现在是2035年6月17号深夜23点40分，还没有到凌晨十二点，六月份短短的十七天时间里。

Including tonight's incident, there have been 21 cases of children being attacked, with their heads and internal organs disappearing, leaving only empty shells of the chest and legs below the neck.

The whole scene was extremely bloody.

No wonder the child's mother fainted upon seeing this scene.

To be honest, even as a grown man with a background in criminal investigation, he felt extremely uncomfortable in this situation.

Hopefully, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will catch this evil spirit soon!

Hong Guan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and felt that there were significantly more special cases this year, especially this month, than before!

"what?"

He didn't know if it was a hallucination or what, but he vaguely felt that the sky was a little red tonight.

……
